    Cure-all, Chapter 14

    "Tina…" Bette started, suddenly shy and hesitant, "I… I know it may sound inappropriate, but please believe me when I say that I only mean it in a respectful way. I… huh… I just wanted to say… I think you’re very beautiful."

    She adored Helena… She respected and admired her…
     

    And yet somehow, it just didn’t compare…
     

    Tightening her grip on the steering wheel, Tina let out a long frustrated sigh… She was confused, she was overwhelmed, she was depressed, she was elated, she was disconcerted, she was flustered, she was… swimming in a cocktail of emotions she’d never felt before… At least not all in the same time. Most of all, she was surprised by this deep distress, increasing daily, this turmoil that she was feeling for the first time in her life, that she suffered but didn’t dare to decipher, and that wouldn’t leave her…
     

    So that’s why, when Alice had suggested that she should go up to the Napa Valley to visit her Pappy and make up with him, it didn’t take much to convince her.
     

    She was a bit nervous at the idea of facing her grandfather after the wedding’s incident, but her anxiety was easily overpowered by the tremendous joy of seeing him again. And she was pretty confident that he would welcome her with open arms. Whatever the argument, they could never remain angry at each other very long. Tina smiled… Yes, she would nestle into his arms, and then she would make peace with him.
     

    Why were they fighting anyway?… Because of her wedding? 
     

    Poor Pappy, if he knew…
     

    The profound and intrusive thought found its way back through the unguarded gates of her memory. Her mind’s eye recalled Franklin, at the end of the party, boring her to death with his endless greeting. She was tired and growing impatient by the second…
     

    … But all of a sudden, all was right in the world again… Bette was there, smiling at her.
     

    Alice had finally told her about the exact circumstances of her meeting with Bette. Alice and her mom had not seen each other for years, after Ann had cheated on her father when Alice was a young teenager. She had refused to speak to her mother ever since. But many years later, during a trip in South Asia, Ann had contracted a rare disease and her chances for survival were very thin. She had been repatriated and transfered to the CDC, where Bette, who was very familiar with the virus, had treated her. Ann was very ill, and she had asked to see her daughter. It was Bette who had made the phone calls and pulled whatever string she could in order to allow the reunion. It was still Bette who had been the only one in the sterile room to understand the significance of the moment between the two women. And it was her who had torn off the white mask and gloves that Alice was wearing against her will, so that mother and daughter could finally embrace and speak to each other after all these years.

    1. what twisted little situation our Tina is in, I mean on hand you have good decent partner not to mention wealthy and on the other side you have fate, destiny, other half of your soul..Hey the heart and soul what it/they want. And right now they want Bette. Pappy would be so happy.

    2. OK, well, I realize you did post a longer chapter this time, but did you have to leave us hanging like this ? Aren’t there some kind of tacit rules that say “no cliffies after 13 chapters” or something ? Damnit !! The frustration !!! Think I might go do some yoga now… LOL ! Ok, just kidding. This was great, K, but as you can see, we can’t wait for B & T to spend more time together… and talk without risking being interrupted again… Just the two of them, you know… Although if nothing or no one interrupts them at some point, I’m afraid they might not realize that several days have passed and they haven’t eaten or slept. Hahaha ! Speaking of funny moments… So Katel speaks Yiddish, huh ? Hehehe ! I love the idea ! I can totally picture her chastising her sheine maidele for not informing them she was coming home for the weekend. Certainly, she would have prepared her room, cooked something fancy… Well, besides les crêpes au Kirsch. Ooooh, you know what ? Now that I think about it, I’d love to see Bette and Tina getting tipsy from too many crêpes au Kirsch. LOL ! I mean, think about it, if Bette were to get a little drunk, she would have to spend the night at Tina’s grandad’s place, right ? OK, I’m getting a little carried away here, we’re definitely not there yet. I’d better stop rambling and go to bed now. Very nice chapter, K. Thank you !

    3. Now that is the way to run into the woman of your dreams. Maybe soon, Tina will stop lying to herself and others about this obsession with Bette Porter.

    4. Just can´t get enough of this amazing story – but those hangers!!!! Anyway don´t let them start out as cheaters – it´s just plain wrong.
